Mailman/Qmail/Plesk Problem
by Douglas G. Phillips July 24, 2009

July 24, 2009

OK, I've got another problem with Qmail/Plesk/Mailman (same customer, rebuilt server). Plesk is 7.5.4 reloaded. Mail delivered fails with "need GID 110 got 101" error. I set up the brute-force wrapper to deliver with GID 110, and set the permissions correctly for it to work. Now, I'm getting the following (broken up into multiple lines for courtesy): qmail: 1157518628.995172 delivery 726: success: group_mismatch_error._Mailman_expected_the_mail_wrapper_script_to_be/ … [View More]

Mailman 2.1.9 incorrectly holding messages for "Reason: Message has implicit destination"
by Schmitt, Gordon A. July 1, 2009

July 1, 2009

We had been using mailman 2.1.5 installed on Redhat Enterprise v3.n for several years . A few months ago, we installed a new Redhat system for our mailing list server, Redhat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.3 (Tikanga) which has Mailman 2.1.9 installed. I followed various instructions on migrating the mailing lists and everything seemed to be working just fine. However, within the past few weeks we noticed that some users sending to their favorite lists are having a lot of trouble with their … [View More]messages being held as: "Reason: Message has implicit destination" . Many users do not have this happen. I have been investigating and testing and I can not figure out why. Our main campus mail system is Exchange 2007. They have put the address in the correct place, i.e. The To: or CC: fields. We create exchange contacts for each mailing list that forwards the message to the mailing list server, e.g. listname(a)stcloudstate.edu forwards to listname(a)lserver.stcloudstate.edu and there was never any problems for the past several years before our upgrade. Below is the header info from a message that is being held that should have passed through. Can anyone think of what is causing this behavior for certain messages? One person mentioned that it happenes when he did a reply-all to a message and it worked after creatomg a new message. I do not know if this could be related because I tried doing this and all my messages went through fine. I may have to experiment more with what email client software the messages are being sent from, I mostly use Entourage on a Mac. The majority of campus use Outlook on some version of Windows.

Sender address domain expanded - posts rejected by privacy options
by Drew Tenenholz June 23, 2009

June 23, 2009

Dear fountain of Mailman knowledge -- Something strange is happening on a Mailman 2.1.9 installation that is being run for me. I wonder if it makes sense to any of you out there. We are running a closed list, which severely restricts who is allowed to post and subscribe. This is mostly for an internal discussion about a post before it is sent to the announce-only (parallel) list. One newly added user is having trouble posting. I believe Mailman may be doing something I didn't expect, … [View More]
